I had cataract surgery in Sep 2018. I now have an under eye bag under one eye. What could cause this?

Surgeon says I just didn't see it before. NOT true. I have pics from 2 different drs just 2 months prior to surgery, and the bag was not there. I met with a plastic surgeon and he agrees that the fat pad appears to be swollen for some reason. He has pics from me from a yr ago, and I did not have any bags. He recommends giving it a few more months to see if swelling subsides.
